The Austin Bitcoin Meetup group will be presenting a Mini Bitcoin Conference this Saturday, August 17, 2013, from 5pm to 7pm at the JJ Pickle Research Campus in Austin, Texas. This conference will be free and open to the public.

Capital Coin and Bullion of Austin, Texas, is now accepting Bitcoin via BitPay. They feature a great selection of high quality coins, precious metals, discounted premiums, appraisal and consignment services, Berkey water filtration products, Youngevity nutritional supplements, Patriot Safes, ammunition and IRA funding services. Capital Coin and Bullion's mission is to be the preferred shopping destination by delivering excellent customer service and outstanding value at an affordable price.

Austin Bitcoin has become a certified integration partner with BitPay.com, the largest Bitcoin payment processor. This partnership will help local Texas merchants start accepting Bitcoin as payment for goods and services. The best part about BitPay's service is that merchants do not have to carry Bitcoin on their ledgers. Since the business does not hold actual Bitcoins, this makes it much easier for accountants to maintain their books without needing to create a new entry for Bitcoin. This also takes away the risk involved in accepting a fluctuating cryptocurrency.

Austin Bitcoin is excited to help businesses start accepting this emerging technology. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about Bitcoin payment integration.
